BUT blatant cheating is something different and that is what Disco Dogs did in the 80's Eliminator progressive. He entered his '84 team with all '84 players. Once the commish verified his roster, he withdrew his team and reentered with '89 Jose Oquendo instead of '84 Jose Oquendo because he did not draft enough 2B AB's. It took the entire season before he was caught, then he threw a fit and was kicked out of the league. Definitely not in the spirit of the game and not the type of owner I would want in my future leagues.

BUT, he has 2 teams in juice's tournament that is just about to begin the second round, and he HAS been active for ther AL/NL choice, and for the years to use for pitching and hitting. He made those selections while ignorring sitemails from 2 different football leagues that were drafting at the same time.

meh. ronblood did me right, he gave plenty of notice before he left, and his team was way over .500

cain a guy have some fun, move from league to league, like going through girlfriends

If you intend to jump league to league, you shouldn't be asking to join a progressive! toss this guy back on the wall.

Unfortunately, he has pulled the same trick again. I replied to his site mail
where he informed me he had to resign due to work, I asked if he was going to send me
a team via admin/customer service. Site mail opened, but no response.

In the event the thread starter, does not update other users posts of owners to avoid,
I will start a new thread and will update regularly.

I would like someone to explain why AFTER a draft is completed, we sometimes wait days and weeks for a league to start play ?

Even accounting for RL issues - the draft takes time and effort - hours at least for research and drafting, having time set aside or sending proxy requests.

AFTER a draft all you have to do is click "create team" - how can it take more than 30 seconds ?

Probably some of the same people are involved in "delay of game" more often.

There seems to be little tolerance for people who have trouble finding the time for a draft, which instead really does require some commitment of time that may not be available for reasons of health, family, work, travel etc. But there appears to be infinite tolerance for someone who has 25 players sitting in the DC and won't click the little button to create their team so the other 11, 19 or 23 people can play. The Italian word is "prepotenza" for this kind of behavior.

Well said! The english word for it is "inconsiderate." I'd say about 95% of the guys get it. The rest think their time is more important then the rest of us... and its ALWAYS the same guys... I find it interesting that they usually only respond to deadlines or threats. Makes me wonder if they live the rest of their life that way. Hmmm...

I think both of you, italyprof and Bootone, are right on the mark. Unfortunately, in some leagues the commissioner is, shall we say, less than organized themself.
Therefore, this affords some owners the opportunity to take liberties.
